Kyprianos was an Eastern Orthodox archbishop who led the church in Cyprus during the early 19th century. Born in Strovolos in 1756, he studied theology in Wallachia before returning to his homeland to serve as the island's religious leader starting in 1810. He was a significant educator, establishing the Pancyprian Gymnasium in Nicosia. During the Greek War of Independence, he remained on the island despite the dangers, ultimately facing execution by the Ottoman authorities in 1821.
